(Please correct me if I am not > correct). the .apk is the final installation package generated by the build. It contains everything your application needs, including code, resources, etc... An .apk is a zip-file with a certain structure. You can take a look at its contents with "unzip -l <your>.apk" > (3) a file "classes.dex" . WHAT IS THIS FILE?? IS THIS UNZIPPED FORM > OF .apk FILE?? "classes.dex" contains what corresponds to all the .class files in your project after they have been translated from JVM bytecodes to Dalvik's shortcodes. It contains all the code of your application in a single uncompressed file. This file is placed as in in the final .apk and is automatically generated for you. > > (4) a file "resources.ap_".
